Had to wait 30 minutes after reservation time to be seated. Had to wait 15 more minutes to order a drink. Paid $90 for two small drinks before tip. Go anywhere else in DC.

Can’t beat the view. Staff was overwhelmed, made do with not enough servers/bartenders, yet were very polite. Ran out of various types of alcohol around 9:30pm. Amazing view and ambience, but overpriced and understaffed.

View was spectacular but food was limited

Very nice experience. Service was slow. Beverages (cocktails) were not mixed making them too light or too heavy. Highly recommend to make a reservation but some seats are too close to together. Large groups can overtake a smaller group. Food was good but online menu was different then actual menu. Ambience was great. Watched the sunsetting. Still believe it’s one of the best rooftop bars!

Waiter service was slow and I was disappointed that you can no longer smoke a cigar there. The drinks were good and the food for the most part was fine.

Final account should be control better We pay more than

Great atmosphere but Terrible service. The hostess wasn’t professional at all. No drink menu they just ask how do you like your drink, sweet, sour, dry. Ugh just horrible

Lovely and beautiful view. Servers were nice and lovely, we really enjoyed the view. Meat plate was really small for the price. But overall great rooftop

I took my wife to this elegant rooftop for drinks to experience the best view in the city, overlooking the Potomac River, the Georgetown waterfront, the Kennedy Center, and the beautiful bridges between VA-DC. She loved it so much that we had a rooftop birthday party for her here one month later, inviting about 15 friends. The party was a big hit, with everyone dressed up wearing white to match the elegant vibe. The staff was gracious and attentive, serving bottle service and hors d'oeuvre all evening. The management team was also especially thoughtful and helpful in helping set up a great birthday experience! Five stars -and a must stop for an elegant evening in Washington, DC!

Unbelievable views, however the service was weird. We walked in and nobody was at the door to greet us so we went to the bar. Moments later we were approached by a staff asking if we had reservations. We did and we’re told to go find a seat, after that none of the waiters came to help us. We were under the impression that they might have been understaffed. Overall, we really enjoyed the views and the drinks were decent.
